Zahid Ahmed shares his motivational life story

A voice over artist, corporate trainer, RJ and actor, Zahid Ahmed, who made his stage debut in 2006, has gone through a tough life experience to become what he is today.

A picture about him has gone viral on social media which shows him ‘Then’, a less-haired over weight man, and ‘Now’, a quite smart hero of ‘Besharam’ drama serial.

A large number of his fans were in doubt whether the picture of ‘Then’ was actually showing him or somebody else. Zahid has cleared the air in this regard through his social media account.

While narrating his life story he has articulated his life events from 2011.

He wrote: This picture has been circulating on many websites and people have been asking me if this is true. Well here’s the answer…it is absolutely TRUE! The picture on the left is me (Zahid). But just like every picture, you never get to know the whole story…apart from getting a solution for my hair loss and being over weight, there’s much more to my story! Here it is!
